Chapter 2176
"The world needs an emperor to rule and lead. But if that emperor is no longer suitable, it is like a tumor growing on a person’s body. I would just cut it off.
Humans are adaptable creatures. If we are sick, we treat it with good medicine. So, if a person is bad, we remove them. The same applies to an emperor. If he becomes a tyrant, we simply replace him.
Besides, the Dayu Dynasty is at a turning point. Whether he becomes a ruler who loses the country or a wise founder depends on his own choice. Everyone’s fate is in their own hands, not in the hands of others helping them."
Zhu Yanyi spoke with a smile, showing no desire to pursue the matter further.
The Ruthless Young Master was slightly stunned. She looked at Zhu Yanyi and said, "Why do I feel that you are actually the most ruthless person? You can say things like 'replace the emperor.' You have spent some time together; there must be some affection, right?"
Zhu Yanyi glanced at the Ruthless Young Master. "I am talking to you now. We have met once. But if I wanted to beat you, I would not let you go just because we met once. Do you think I am someone who gives up myself for some boring feelings?
To be honest, the only person who can confuse me with feelings is Aohan. Even with my relatives, I might get angry, but I cannot bring myself to hurt them. However, the only person who can make me hesitate because of feelings is Aohan. So, my weakness is Aohan. Therefore, if you want to deal with me, it is simple. Just hurt Aohan, and I will be furious, ignoring gods and humans. Do you understand? Except for Aohan, I do not care about anyone else."
Zhu Yanyi actually felt that she was the one suited to cultivate the Ruthless Path.
"Wife, although I am your weakness, you should not say it so openly," Yan Aohan said. He felt happy but also helpless. His face and eyes were full of gentle smiles, though his words seemed insincere.
Zhu Yanyi glanced at Yan Aohan and said calmly, "Do you not want to be my weakness?"
"I do. And I have always known that I am your weakness, just as I have always known that you are my soft spot," Yan Aohan said with a smile. "But we should keep this between us. Why tell others?"
"Isn't it said that no one is perfect? I am telling everyone in advance that I have weaknesses and flaws, so they do not think I am perfect. They say perfect people are easily envied by heaven. So, if I say I am not perfect first, then even if we are happy, heaven will not envy us," Zhu Yanyi answered with a smile, turning a fallacy into a truth seriously.
Ouyang Mingyue coughed beside them. Only Zhu Yanyi would say such arrogant things. However, the problem was that by saying this, the Ruthless Young Master found it harder to act. This weakness was too strong, and she always acted only when she had absolute certainty.
The Ruthless Young Master thought for a moment, pondering where he had gone wrong.
Ouyang Mingyue looked at the Ruthless Young Master and said, "Actually, in my opinion, you have never truly lived as an ordinary person. That is why you do not understand. When I was reincarnated, I could seal all my memories. Because I sealed my memories, I became the Peerless Immortal Emperor today. Before reincarnation, I could not break through this point."
The Ruthless Young Master looked at Ouyang Mingyue. He naturally knew that Ouyang Mingyue was speaking from his true experience. However, he had his own ideas. He believed that Ouyang Mingyue could not break through because of emotion, which he despised most. He considered himself the most ruthless person in the God Realm. Yet, now, this ruthlessness seemed to be blocking his progress.
"I cultivate ruthlessness. I do not understand why I need to live among ordinary people," the Ruthless Young Master said.
"Your ruthlessness is what you say yourself. You clearly know the theory, that the greatest ruthlessness is actually deep affection. But you still chose to have no emotion. So, you are not ruthless now; you are emotionless," Ouyang Mingyue said seriously.
"Actually, it is a good thing for you to teach the emperor now. Only after teaching will you understand that sometimes having feelings is not something to fear. True ruthlessness is not having no emotions or feelings."
The Ruthless Young Master pondered for a moment. "I will consider your suggestion carefully. As for this emperor, since you all want to cultivate him, I agree."
After all, if a toy is gone, one can find another.
Zhu Yanyi’s eyes turned. "Do you want to get some masks? I think masks are good. This way, you do not have to worry about people knowing your identities. To the outside world, just say I invited an Imperial Tutor."
"You are not humble at all," Ouyang Mingyue pointed at Zhu Yanyi. "Could we not have come to you ourselves?"
"I provided such a good suggestion, and you still compete with me for the recommendation. That is too much," Zhu Yanyi looked at Ouyang Mingyue, then said to Yan Aohan, "Husband, he is bullying me."
"It is fine. In a few days, I will go to the Immortal Palace. Then I will tell the Immortal Empress that the Immortal Emperor is flirting with people in the mortal realm. Although it is a joke, the young girl’s heart is fluttering with spring feelings," Yan Aohan answered seriously.
"Hey, hey, you two should stop," Ouyang Mingyue said hurriedly, then glared at Zhu Yanyi. "This is too immoral."
"What is morality? Can it be eaten?" Zhu Yanyi said shamelessly. "Who made you the Immortal Emperor? If you want us not to say it, bribe us."
Ouyang Mingyue directly threw a bag of spirit stones at Zhu Yanyi. "I feel that one day I will bury you with spirit stones."
"My husband is here. You cannot bury me," Zhu Yanyi said with a smile.
Well, Ouyang Mingyue was speechless. He admitted that Yan Aohan was indeed a terrifying opponent. It was not his cultivation level that was scary, but his reincarnation technique. There was no way; he had to accept his bad luck.
The Ruthless Young Master thought for a moment and then said, "Having a mask is good. I might have people secretly sabotage some plans. If I do not wear a mask, it will be difficult to act."
Indeed, this was the Ruthless Young Master’s style. His two-faced behavior was truly open and aboveboard.
Zhu Yanyi nodded. "I mean the same. My secret actions against you are secret matters. On the surface, we are still cooperating. So, it is better to wear masks to avoid embarrassment later."
Yan Aohan took out a mask and put it on. "I never lack masks." The Yanluo mask looked cold, but this coldness could not hide his majesty.
